Another excellent feature that has been added to this 2015 release of SOLIDWORKS is Dynamic Reference Visualization; this is the ability to dynamically see the parent / child relationships between features within the FeatureManager.
To quickly view feature dependencies, simply move the mouse cursor over the features in the FeatureManager and arrows will be displayed pointing out the parent and child relationships between features.
This new graphical reference tool makes it easy to determine feature dependencies in parts and assemblies and helps you understand the possible effects of any design changes upfront, saving time and effort.
Dynamic Reference Visualization will also assist you in preventing any circular references that may slip past your guard when modeling in the context of an assembly.
